Templeshannon Regeneration

The Templeshannon Regeneration Strategy sets out Wexford County Council’s ambitious regeneration proposals for the Templeshannon area of Enniscorthy over the next 15-20 years and was adopted by the members of Enniscorthy Municipal District in January 2018. 

The Strategy includes a number of key infrastructural projects: 

• Improvement of the public realm and streetscape of the Templeshannon area including the widening of footpaths, enhanced public lighting, undergrounding of services, paving, etc;
• Improving accessibility and linkages from the Templeshannon area to the rest of Enniscorthy, including the provision of a new pedestrian bridge from Slaney Street to Templeshannon;
• The progressive transformation of the Waterfront Leisure Centre private car park to create a new civic space and a public car park;
• Improvement of the Enniscorthy Railway Station arrival area with emphasis on its connection to Templeshannon and the rest of Enniscorthy.
